Other Cities, Look and Learn

Our friends at Streetfilms (thanks Clarence!) have put together another great video (below). Clarence writes:

It's enough to make bike commuters in many cities drool. The center boasts state-of-the-art showering facilities, secure bicycle parking for 300, a repair station, towel service, is temperature-controlled, and features the constant presence of the Chicago Lakefront Police bike patrol, which shares the facility and maintains its bikes on site. The station is extremely popular, with 500 members at a time and a waiting list of eager riders ready to join. But even if you aren't a member you can still take advantage of the free bike parking, and mechanics are on duty to repair anyone's bikes seven days a week.

Chicago Readers, What's Your Opinion?

Any Chicago readers that have used the McDonald's Bike Center? What do you think? Is it as nice as this video makes it look? Please leave a comment below. Thanks.
